If Weaver can't pitch Wednesday, the Angels will put him on the DL retroactive to June 17. He would be eligible to be activated on July 2.

"There's no better time to do some juggling with [today's] off day and off days [June 28 and July 2]. If guys are fatigued, we can give them a chance to get their second wind." Joe Saunders will start in place of Weaver on Friday.

Jered Weaver threw his regular bullpen session Wednesday and felt confident he has worked out his problems, the AP reports. He's 0-2 with a 9.39 ERA over two starts. "I was looking at some tape, and I saw I was drifting forward a little bit too much, so I was just trying to stay back over the rubber," said Weaver, whose season was delayed because of biceps tendinitis. "Everything went well in the bullpen. I'm just going through a dead-arm stage that I've got to battle through because I started a little bit later, but I felt like the ball was coming out of my hand a little bit stronger today, so we'll see what happens next time."

He's slated to test out his sore biceps by tossing 90 pitches for Single-A Rancho Cucamonga this evening. "It will depend on how he feels [today]," said manager Mike Scioscia. "If he can pitch a little deeper into the game and get his pitch count where it needs to be and maintain his velocity, we'll certainly look at [returning Monday]. But there's a chance he could need one more rehab start."
April 7, 2007
Mike Scioscia said Jered Weaver's rehab start for Class A Rancho Cucamonga on Friday night went well, despite a pitch count that went slightly higher than expected over four innings, the Angels official site reports. Weaver is recovering from right biceps tendinitis. "He maintained his velocity, and his last 10 pitches were terrific," Scioscia said. "There were signs he's moving in the right direction. Health-wise, he's fine. He'll have one more start, and we'll see where he is." Weaver's last rehab outing, prior to a scheduled start at Boston on April 16, will come April 11 with Rancho Cucamonga. His pitch count in that one has been set at 90.

The Angels have made it official: Jered Weaver will begin the year on the disabled list due to his biceps tendinitis, the Los Angeles Times reports.

"A lot of guys have a biological clock — they see opening day come around and think they have to be ready," Manager Mike Scioscia said. "You have to take that out of a player's mentality, because you want a guy to be on a mound when he's ready. You can't rush it." If Weaver isn't ready for the start of the season, Dustin Moseley, Chris Bootcheck or Hector Carrasco would likely step in as the fifth starter.
February 26, 2007
The Angels are hopeful Jered Weaver will be ready by opening day, the AP reports. "There is a date where you'll look in spring training and you'll know if a pitcher physically won't be ready for the start of the season, and maybe shortly after, but we have not approached that yet with Jered," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said Monday.

Jered Weaver was able to test out his tight shoulder by playing long toss from 120 feet for about 10 minutes yesterday, according to the LA Times. "Every time I throw, there's still something there," Weaver said. "It's not pain, it's not discomfort, it's normal. After I get warmed up, it knocks itself out, so it's just a matter of getting loose." He hopes to throw off a mound by the weekend.
February 20, 2007
Jered Weaver, who has been limited due to tightness in his shoulder, could throw off a mound as early as next week, according to the LA Times. Manager Mike Scioscia said Weaver would need to make at least four or five exhibition appearances before being ready to open the season.

Jered Weaver not only said that his tight throwing shoulder will keep him from throwing off a mound for "a couple of weeks," he added that it could bother him the rest of his career. "The way I throw, it's going to be an issue — I've had it since high school," Weaver said of the biceps tendinitis that forced him to skip a start last July. "It sticks around for a long time, and it's a matter of knocking it out. With my long mechanics and different arm slot, I put a little more stress on my shoulder."
